or are all the owners just confused people looking to follow the herd? i personaly dont mind throwing cash into a car and enjoying a nice drive. these hybrids are slow and goofy looking and do not offer anything to balance out the crappyness of them. *** feel free to vent if you hate Hybrids ***

My opinion is that Hybrids r jest a cheap way to make more money by lying to consumers.. Sure they give better gass mileage, but not without a price.. and that price is power.. ye lose power when the 'generater' is running, and thus they are slow and acceleration is cut back a good degree.. I think they are a pile of crap, but thats jest me.. not everyone wants power...

How could you not. with rebates from the Manufacturer and Goverment incentives-( totall combinded approx 3 to 4000 off sticker plus your own bargaining power) and the up ward 40's for gas mileage how could you not. But if you want power then you would never even consider a Hybred. Being 45 and were looking to buy a new vehicle then yes I would at least check them out but for myself I'm ordering the 07 Pontiac roadster with the new v6 and new upgraded suspension and steering. weighing less than 2500 lbs and total carbon fiber body-(lightwieght and stronger than steel) and the 270 +++ HP which i figured after tweaking it around 340 hp it should be a absolute blast to drive in city or highway and will win 90% of your have fun steet races I will feel as I did in Highschool with my 1970 442 W30 ram-air with a little over 430 hp but with great gas mileage

the next auto for transportation. It saves gas and is a great technology. Although hybrids currently represent a tiny fraction of the market, they are being developed by both Japanese and U.S. manufacturers who are seeking to replicate the performance characteristics of conventional vehicles while producing sharply higher fuel economy and lower emissions.
The crucial difference between the Japanese and the Big Three is that Toyota and Honda have been selling the vehicles in the U.S. since 1999 while the first model from a U.S. manufacturer – the Ford Escape compact sport utility – isn’t expected until the third quarter of 2004.

My next car will be a hybrid. Gas prices might rise again. I have been accused of being a tree hugger, because I am also interested in saving the environment. I have been teased about my choice, therefore I can not be accused of following the herd. I am making my choice based on what I have learned by reading 'Mother Earth News' and 'Consumer Reports'.

If any kind of BMW X5 or X3 counts as a hybrid then I LOVE 'EM.
